While cynics may see this action as merely a chance for 2,000 people to feel good about themselves, the aim of this action is not to change the political and legal situation in Russia. Nobody expects 2,000 people singing to make the Russian government do a 180 on their policies. Rather this, like the It Gets Better Campaign, is to provide hope and show support; to show the queer community in Russia that they are not forgotten and the gay community, on a global scale, is trying to help in any way it can.
